This is a hand stitched tapestry made into a shoes. It is on a black velvet with gold, blue and pink swirls of embroidery making the designs. Suzani means needle in Farsi and this is a tour de force in needle work. This was made from a remnant purchased in the souk. One end of the fabric had damage but much of the fabric was repurposed for out slippers. Every pair we offer are stunning.

These are formed over an Italian las which creates this narrow elegant shoe. The exterior silk is hand tied and hand dyed silk. The colors are consistent but the arrangement of the colored patterns will vary. These shoes will stretch but it seems to take a little longer than the kilim shoes.

HOW TO FIT THE SHOES

The unique designs and patterns of handmade kilim allow for the fabric to stretch. Some of our oldest kilims are hand spun, which creates a lumpy textured yarn and part of the visual charm. Within minutes of wearing the shoes, the fabrics can adjust to your foot and once adjusted it will hold their shape.

The shoe must fit the length of the foot but it often will be tight across the toes initially. They all stretch in width but the shoe must be comfortable in length so that your toe is not cramped and shoe should not slip off the heel with each step.

Please note: Our kilims that were bought in the medina or souks in Istanbul and by using them in our shoes these are up-cycled items. All our partners [cobblers, agents, buyers] receive a fair compensation and we work in partnership on all of our designs and color patterns.
